Agreed, about the pollution levels. My personal view is that the summer is far more depressing (heat, muggy, pollution) then the air in the winter. After 3 years in beijing, most Beijing people talk about the pollution far less, than housing prices, getting a Beijing hukou...

When we foreigners get together, we talk about pollution and the GFW since most of us don't hope to buy a house or get hukou :)
